80% of drawn Palladium Myrs are cast before the game ends, and the median first-cast turn lands on T5.0, making it a reliable mid-game mana accelerant across 380 tracked decks.

Palladium Myr sits in a focused corner of the Commander format: a colorless 2/2 artifact creature that taps for two colorless mana, fitting neatly into any deck that needs ramp without color restrictions. Across 650 tracked multiplayer games on Playgroup Live, 80% of drawn copies reached the battlefield.

The inclusion rate of 2% reflects its niche role. This is not a universal staple like Sol Ring. It shows up in specific archetypes: predominantly colorless commanders and artifact-heavy strategies where the 3-mana cost is offset by the double-mana return. The median first-cast turn is T5.0, which fits the typical "cast on curve or slightly after a land delay" pattern for a 3-drop. Of 677 instances brought to games, 160 were drawn and 128 were cast.

The data comes from 333 distinct players, and no single contributor accounts for more than a small fraction of the sample. That spread gives this dataset reasonable breadth, though the overall observation count keeps these figures directional rather than conclusive.

≥ -9.2pp

Players who cast this card win 27% of the time (n=116) , vs 27% when it never left the library (n=445).

When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 19% (n=27) — about the same as leaving it in the library. Those players survived long enough to draw it, so the gap above is about the card resolving, not just about surviving.

Observed gap -0.8pp; 95% confidence interval -9.2pp to +7.6pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.

Zhulodok, Void Gorger leads by a wide margin, but the list spans colorless, five-color artifact, and Simic strategies, showing Palladium Myr serves a broad spread of artifact-centric archetypes.

Frequently Asked

How often is Palladium Myr drawn in a Commander game?
In 650 tracked multiplayer games where Palladium Myr was in the deck, it was drawn 24% of the time. That is consistent with what you expect for a singleton in a 100-card deck. Of the 160 copies that reached a player's hand, 80% were cast before the game concluded. The remainder is largely a game-length effect: copies drawn in the late game often have no opportunity to resolve before the table ends.
What turn does Palladium Myr typically hit the battlefield?
The median first-cast turn is T5.0, with the distribution peaking around turn 3 (its mana cost). The on-curve rate is 36%, meaning most casts land slightly later than the card's mana value would suggest. That is expected: a player needs to draw it first, and opening-hand frequency for a singleton is low. When players do hold it before casting, the median wait in hand is one turn.
How sticky is Palladium Myr once it resolves?
66% of cast Palladium Myrs remain on the battlefield at game end. As a 2/2 creature it is a real removal target, and graveyard finishes account for a meaningful share of its final-zone distribution. That stickiness figure is a useful benchmark: compare it to pure artifact mana rocks, which face less targeted removal pressure than creatures.
Which commanders run Palladium Myr most often?
Zhulodok, Void Gorger leads the tracked list by deck count, followed by Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch and several other colorless or artifact-synergy commanders. The pattern is consistent: Palladium Myr slots into strategies that either want colorless mana specifically or need creature-based ramp that doubles as an artifact for synergy payoffs. The spread across many different commanders suggests it fills a utility role rather than being a lynchpin of one single strategy.
Does casting Palladium Myr correlate with winning?
The win rate when cast is 27% across 116 observed participations, compared to 27% when the card stayed in the library across 445 participations. The cast-vs-library delta is effectively flat at this sample size and the confidence interval spans zero, so there is no clear directional signal here. Treat both figures as descriptive rather than causal.
Is Palladium Myr legal in Commander?
Yes. Palladium Myr is legal in Commander, Duel Commander, Oathbreaker, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and several other formats. It has no color identity, so it slots into any Commander deck regardless of color restrictions. It is not legal in Standard, Pauper, or Pauper Commander.
